those cameras were not installed at the time and were thus not in use on unit 4. another thing to note is that flames were not visible between channel caps, instead, the ~700 pound caps began to lift up in down due to extreme pressure, followed by explosion of the core.

[@TheTrueMichael]

[@festivelad5079]

@@TheTrueMichael these caps are used to help keep the channel seals closed when the reactor was not being fueled, they were very heavy. also yes they never lifted until moments before the explosion, this was due to extreme steam pressure attempting to escape the core, as well as mechanical force from the rapid rupturing of the steel channels inside the graphite blocks.

@@TheTrueMichael the caps? yes they partially were, but they were mostly used to keep the refueling caps closed. most of the radiation protection was done by the upper biological shield, which sits several meters below the channel caps. the individual caps wouldn't be a super effective radiation shield as they are not very large (only around a meter in length) and are loosely grouped together so a crane can remove them for refueling access.

[@tungstenkid2271]

There was a reactor fatal design flaw that would only kick in under certain conditions, and those conditions occurred because of the gung-ho ham-fisted operators. But in fairness to them, they thought hitting the AZ-5 emergency shutdown button would avert disaster. It didn't.

[@1kravchenko]

thats correct

[@xj900uk]

I don't know all the details, but apparently there was a 'possibility' that, when the AZ-5 button was hit, the control rods would descend but not properly enter the reactor core; rather, when they touched the edge they would cause a power surge which would cause them to jam barely half-in and not doing much good. The power surge however would cause even more problems to the rest of the atomic power station. This 'statistical possibilty' was known to the original designer and also a few big-wigs high up in the Politburo but it had been buried in an official report and not made widely available. Certainly the every day staff at Chenobyl never knew of the risk/possibility of it all going pear-shaped.

[@CrniWuk]

@@xj900uk To be fair and I am not saying this to defend them, but I guess the circumstances here have been pretty pecuilar in some sense due to the nature of the experiment they conducted and also under such conditions. Instead of using the day crew as planed they got to the night shift and a staff which was not really aware about the conditions. The fact that the reactor was runing for hours in a low state where it created Xenon inside the core. No one ever probably expected or thought that someone would run a reactor, on purpose, in such a state for so long. So the authorities knew there was a "risk" but they simply thought that it was not worth the hassle to "fix" it. Crazy.

[@xj900uk]

@@CrniWuk More likely they thought the 'risk' of something bad happening again in such similar circumstances was so statistically low, it wasn't worth bothering about. Which, of course, meant that it was bound to happen again one day.

@@C2H6Cd they did know though that once you shut down a reactor you have to wait a couple weeks to restart it, and in all the confusion and frustration of wanting to get the test done they over looked things that they shouldn’t. Yes this particular reactor type has several design flaws that were not explained the crew especially the leader Antonov should have known. He was a trained nuclear engineer

[@joshuahudson2170]

Actually the auto-safety system would have blown it up. They had pushed it into a dangerous state that was hard to back out of. The correct solution from this point was to lower the control rods one at a time. Among the many design flaws in this reactor, lowering the control rods momentarily increases reaction rate. Normally this is not a problem, but when they've built up so many three-day isotopes and are so close to prompt critical it's deadly.

I'm sorry, but in NO way does this compare to the real chills (I got) from the HBO 5-part mini-series (though, I admit, this little clip's all I've - so far - seen of the whole film), they've done 'typical' things, i.e., have background music for this, which, in the HBO scene, there's none during this whole sequence, only the eerie silence, punctuated by an alarm, or an ominous rumble, making it just pure nail-biting torture (in the first episode, the very beginning, when it's night, and we're in the fireman's apartment, the window's in the centre, and you can tell that the central part is the reactor. When there's an instantaneous beam of incredibly bright, white light, shooting straight up, most people (watching the film, as well as those, who were AT the real area of the tragedy) are caught off-gaurd by it. A few seconds later, there's a deep, powerful rumble, and explosion does it become crystal clear; the sound and noise were only part of it. The blast of white light was the other part, and that we've just witnessed a massive disaster. I don't know what the actor's (real) name who's playing the Anatoly Dyatlov part, but, here - though hey make him (obviously) 'in-charge', in HBO's Chernobyl, Paul Ritter was ruthless, uncaring to the point that he didn't even believe the data, unless he could somehow make it conform what he thought it should be. The disaster was caused by a string of terrible coincidences, and it's much more likely that - in the Soviet Union, people were less than 'people', but, more accurately just a small part (of whatever it was that they were involved in/with), and therefore, they didn't care about the totality - only that their small part was correct/efficient, etc, and, here the Dyatlov-character seems more human, and just...stupid, but, in the HBO mini-series, he was ruthless to the point that the entire plant could drop into the pit of hell, just as long as what HE was in charge of, DID asmthey were expected, and followed EVERY rule.

Yes, I worked at a nuclear power plant in Maryland (now retired) when this disaster struck. Some time after it happened we had a meeting where the official report of what happened was read by our supervisor. From what I remember, they were trying to perform some type of test which required the reactor to be at a low level. Problem was, at that level it became unstable and was going to auto shut down. To prevent that, they disconnected the safety systems. Unexpectedly, the reaction increased rapidly to the point of the reactor exploding, so quickly it occurred - a matter of seconds - that they didn't have enough time to get the control rods inserted into the core. It was sheer stupidity on the part of the control room operators. The other problem was that the reactor building itself wasn't strong enough to contain the explosion and allowed the radioactive fire and contamination to blow out into the atmosphere.

@@KManXPressTheU Yeah, it was a way to get a little more "mileage" out of barely or not at all enriched Uranium, instead of letting water that was just a weaker absorber replace the control rod in the channel as it's withdrawn, you pull up a moderator instead. Decent idea, just needed refinement which they ignored until it was too late. Also, they never planned on having the reactor in such a f***** configuration as it was.
